Talk about a hammer on a pinhead

Would this app help?

It just seems like hex-editing Safari is too Extreme Makeover-ish when a config util might help. I unfortunately use Windows at work so I can't test this. I was going to recommend the old standby "More Internet" but that is apparently in need of updating.

I wish Apple would come out with its own darn control panel to manage which app handles filetypes, URI's, mime types, etc... At least Windows buries it in the Tools > Folder Options > File Types dialog.

Would [RCDefaultApp] help?

It didn't work for me.

P.S. What about naming the app in the comment and making the URL a link?

... a hammer can be the only way to get the job done!

Um, no. The behaviour appears to be hardwired in Safari, which is why hex editing is the only option. It's not as though hex editing is particularly difficult, and if you're used to correct handling of feed:// URLs it's a simple way to get your workflow flowing again. This tip is really for people who are extremely annoyed with this bug and not patient enough to wait for Apple to release the next bugfix version of Safari.
